The dried whole plant of Hedyotis diffusa (Rubiaceae). Cold, bitter and sweet, entering the Stomach, Large Intestine, and Small Intestine channels. Clears heat, resolves toxicity, disperses masses, and drains dampness. A folk remedy for snakebite; in modern practice widely used as an adjunct in oncological support.
Reference range for non-pregnant adults. Not a personalized prescription. Pregnancy, lactation, and pediatric use require specialist supervision.
Protective guidance only — when to avoid or use with caution. This block deliberately omits pregnancy, lactation, and pediatric dosing: any such use must be managed by a qualified TCM practitioner or appropriate specialist.
